"a lot of sports here in town imported that
last dog from Virginia to do up Grover, but
he was TOO much for him, and the friends OF
Bruiser had u chance to weep over his grave
few days after the fight. Bruiser was q
beautiful dog and had lots of good points,
but he couldn't 60 against Grover and live
Grover is cross between an English
terror and an Irish bulldog, and has the
agility of one and the stubbornness of the
other. He is perfectly gentle. and follows
his master about the streets with the great
est docility. He takes no notice of other
dogs. and never indulged in street fight
but once. That was on an occasion when
large Newfoundland undertook to bully
Grover because he was small. In Mr..
Shanley's expressive language, THAT dog
! never knew what struck him." Grover is a
great pet among the children in the neigh
borhood in which he lives and spends a
part OF every day romping with them.
| TRAINING DOGS.
There's good deal in knowing how tC
| train dog" said Mr.. Stanley. II have ways
| of my own, and when Grover goes into a fight
| he is as hard as q rock, and weighs four
| pounds less than he does now. Do you know
| when is the best time to feed dogs? At ii
o'clock at night. Dogs are the most uneasy
| animals you can find, and night is the only
time they keep quiet long enough to digest
! their food. When Grover is in training
| feed him during the day on cakes made OF
| oatmeal largely, and then at IL o'clock at
! night l give him a mutton stew boiled
down from three pints to less than one
The cakes are excellent for a dog in
| training, and l learned how to make them
| from old man Jintly, a dog trainer from way
| back who was in his prime during the days
of Waterford Jack and those other famous
dogs of his day. l have machine at home In
the shape of a wheel, which 1 use in giving
dogs exercise. Placed in the wheel the dogs
| have to run, you see and it hardens them up.
L also train them on the road
Mr. Stanley is the owner of three other
dogs besides Grover, and is very proud OF
the collection. He thinks that Grover is
| the best dog in the Northwest, and eX-
presses himself as being willing to back him
| against all corners. A fight will probably
be arranged between Grover and Jumbo, of
Minneapolis. who now wears the champion
ship collar, to take place in April.
